Matthew 21:9
Hosanna. A Greek modification of the Hebrew words rendered, "Save
now, I beseech thee", in Psalms 118:25, the next verse of which formed
part of their song, "Blessed", etc. It is used as an expression of
praise, like "hallelujah".
He that cometh in the name of the Lord. The words are taken in
part from Psalms 118:25,26, a hymn which belonged to the great
hallelujah chanted at the end of the Paschal Supper and the Feast of
Tabernacles. The people were accustomed to apply it to the Messiah.
